Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

When the village chief and clan head left Liu Dawang's house, their steps were particularly light, and they had smiles on their faces.

"Uncle, thank you." Liu Jinsheng expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the clan chief.

"There's nothing to thank me for, we're all family."

"If it weren't for your recommendation, I wouldn't have become the village chief. If it weren't for your guidance, I wouldn't have been able to do a good job as the village chief."

"That's because you have the ability. If you really want to thank me, then do a good job as the village chief, lead the villagers of Liujia Village to live a good life, and carry forward our Liu clan."

Let our ancestors see that their descendants are not cowards.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely do my best."

I'd like to discuss the selection of personnel for these two matters with you first, so we can have a general idea in mind.

"Okay, then take me to my house. We'll talk when we get there."

The clan chief and the village chief drafted a rough list, intending to tell everyone about these two things the next day, but unexpectedly, something happened in the village that very night.

At night, the entire Liujia Village was quiet, and the villagers were all asleep.

Seven or eight shadowy figures, carrying machetes and sticks, furtively carried a ladder to the outside of Liu Dawang's courtyard wall at the end of the village. They placed the ladder against the wall, and one of them nimbly climbed over it.

Because the courtyard wall was too high, he dared not jump down, fearing he would fall and hurt himself, and also fearing he would disturb the owner. So he had someone hand him a ladder, which was then placed inside the courtyard wall.

Although their movements were very light, they still disturbed Qingwu and Qingye inside the house. The two of them were already skilled in martial arts, with sharp ears and eyes, and their hearing was extraordinary. They had also drunk the spiritual spring water, so they could hear even the slightest sound.

The two quickly got up, gently opened the door a crack, and looked outside. They saw a dark figure coming down from the top of the wall.

Neither of them spoke, just watching quietly. Then a dark figure came down from the wall, opened the courtyard gate, and several people carrying weapons rushed in and closed the gate behind them.

They whispered a few words and then headed toward the rooms in the courtyard.

Qingwu immediately opened the door and leaped out. One person blocked the door, and another stood in the courtyard, cutting off their escape route. They couldn't run away even if they wanted to.

Without saying a word, the other side started fighting. These people were just street thugs, good at bullying ordinary people, but against Qingwu Qingye, who had martial arts skills, they were a piece of cake.

In no time at all, they had knocked all of them to the ground, broken their arms and legs, and they couldn't even run away.

The petty thieves lay on the ground groaning in pain. "Liu Tiedan, you son of a bitch, you've ruined us! You didn't even know the situation of this family before you dared to call us to steal from them. I'll skin you alive next time!"

These two are clearly skilled fighters. They must be regretting it now! They were blinded by Liu Tiedan and his companion's lies and didn't come to scout the place themselves to understand the situation. That's why they've suffered this calamity. They don't know how this family will deal with them.

Hearing the commotion, the family members quickly put on their clothes and came out.

When Liu Siyue saw the person lying on the ground, she thought, "They really have audacity."

Liu Dawang and the others also came over. "What happened? What are these people doing here?"

"Master, Madam, they are a gang of petty thieves who want to kill, set fires, and steal from our house."

Look at the weapons they're carrying—machetes and daggers.

"Miss, what should we do with these people?"

"It's late at night, everyone's asleep. Let's tie them all up first and talk about it when it gets light."

"Miss, I've broken their arms and legs, they can't escape now."

Liu Dawang was still not at ease, so he went back into the house, found a rope, and tied the eight people together one by one, like grasshoppers, and laid them on the ladder they had brought.

The gang leader begged Liu Dawang for mercy, "Sir, please spare us! We were lured here by people from your village who said you have endless gold and silver treasures."

They said your family is all women, that you're a dead family in the village, and that we have no wives. They said they could take your women back as wives.

She lightly slapped the thug leader twice, yelling, "Shut up!"

The gang leader was beaten so badly he saw stars, his teeth were knocked out, and dirty water mixed with blood was flowing out. The others were so frightened that they immediately shut up and didn't dare to utter a sound.

Liu Siyue quickly reassured her family, "Mother, eldest sister, it's alright, you can all go back to sleep."

"We're watching closely; they can't escape. We'll ask them again when it's light to see what really happened."

Everyone went back to sleep, but although they were all lying in bed, no one could fall asleep and they stayed up until dawn.

Once the whole family was up, Liu Siyue had Qingwu and Qingye untie all their ropes.

"Qingwu and Qingye moved three chairs for Feng Shi, Liu Dawang, and Liu Siyue to sit down."

Liu Siyue looked at the people kneeling before her and asked, "Who is the leader here? Tell me, who are you? Who sent you?"

Liu Dawang and Liu Ruyun had already recognized the two kneeling men: one named Liu Tiedan and the other Liu Dachui. They were both members of the Liu clan, lazy and good-for-nothing, and still single.

They also saw Liu Dawang and knew he was a kind-hearted man, so they quickly cried and begged, "Uncle Dawang, I'm Tiedan, I'm Dachui. We know we were wrong, please let us go."

"Yes, Uncle Dawang, please let us go. We have an elderly mother at home who needs our care."

Liu Siyue looked at Liu Dawang, "Second Uncle, who are those two?"

"They are both members of the Liu clan. They are both bad influences, spending their days idly and doing nothing productive. They even started hanging out with hooligans."

"They really are traitors, colluding with outsiders to harm our villagers. These two must not be let off lightly. We need to invite the village chief over later."

Upon hearing Liu Siyue's words, the gang leader quickly said, "Master, Madam, Miss, I'll tell you everything. I am their leader. Could you please reattach our arms and legs first? It's in so much pain."

"So you still feel pain? Did you think about the consequences of getting caught before you did something bad?"

Explain things clearly first, then I'll consider it.

The gang leader then began to speak, "My name is Wei Youfu, and these five are my good brothers. We usually make a living in town, and we've done this kind of thing since we came to the countryside."

Wei Youfu pointed at Liu Tiedan and Liu Dachui, "We know those two, but not very well. They approached us a few times before, wanting to join our group, but I refused."

A couple of days ago, the two of them came to town and found my brother, saying they had a big business deal and asked if we wanted to do it.

We thought to ourselves, what big business could two peasants possibly have? We didn't want to pay them any attention and tried to chase them away. But they wouldn't let it go, saying that if we listened to what they had to say, we would definitely be tempted.

I thought I might as well listen to it; there's no harm in it anyway.

They said your family is the last of its kind in the village, with only one honest man and six or seven women in the family, all of whom are in their prime and could be our wives.

I was impatient to listen to that, so I told him to pick out the important parts and say that your family was the richest in the village, that you had built more than a dozen large brick and tile houses, and that you had connections with influential people in the city.

He said that not only did your family find treasure in the mountains and make a lot of money, but a wealthy lady from the city also sent you a lot of gold and silver jewelry, more than you could ever spend.

My brother and I usually hang out on the streets, but we've never done anything like theft or robbery before. This is our first time doing this, and we've already suffered a major setback before we've even done anything.

Please, please spare us! I promise I'll never do it again.

Liu Siyue scoffed. This was the first time she'd ever seen anything like it. They must be kidding her.

"Reattach their arms and legs, and invite the village chief and clan chief over."
